"Avengers" actually went on to surpass even the poll's upper-tier choice of over $175 million, ultimately breaking the $207 million-mark from Thursday's midnight screenings through Sunday. Adding in its overseas haul, the Joss Whedon-directed movie has already brought in over $650 million in its first 12 days of release, a number that surpasses the entire box office of "Iron Man 2," the previous #1 Marvel film which finished its theatrical run with $623 million.
